Midnight swims and m 'n m's
Chapter 1
"That treacherous little bleeder! Is there no one we can trust?" Ron asked wiping his shoulders and arms free from the debris of the collapsing home of Xenophilius Lovegood. "They kidnapped her because they supported me. He was just desperate." Harry said wiping his bag off then throwing it on the ground. Ron shook his head, "I'll do the enchantments." he said walking downhill from Harry and me. As I started my way on the opposite direction, up the hill, I noticed just how dirty I was. I had rubble in my hair, I hadn't showered in weeks, and my clothes were filthy. As I was trying to brush off as much dirt as I possibly could off my jacket and pants I heard Harry gasp.
I looked up to see him looking over toward where Ron had walked earlier. I turn to look over towards Ron but something stood right in front of me. I stood frozen in fear. "Hello beautiful." a man that looked in his mid-thirties and had long black hair pulled back out of his face stood feet from me. I started to back up as quickly as I could, going downhill. I turned to the others. "Ha-" I started to call Harry but I saw that there were three more snatchers blocking him from me. I didn't know what to do. So I started to run. I could hear Ron's heavy breathing behind me as I took off into the woods. "Well don't hang about," the man I then recognized to be Scabior said," Snatch 'um!" at the sound of the other men running towards us I pumped my legs harder.
I felt like I was going to explode! I can see Harry in the corner of my left eye, running as fast as I was. I looked everywhere in my peripheral vision but I still couldn't see Ron. I turned my head for a secant to try to fund him and I tripped over a root sticking out of e ground. The pain shooting up from my ankle was intense but I had to keep going. I couldn't let them get me. I jumped up just as Ron got to me. He grabbed my hand, pulling me along with him. Running faster, and faster through the trees, branches and twigs snapping against my legs and arms. I kept squeezing Ron's hand showing I was here for him and me needing the support from him.
My ankle felt like it had been run over by a train and it was making it difficult to walk let alone run. The sound of clanking medal rang in my ear as Ron was thrown to the ground. Holding tight to his hand I stopped so suddenly that I lost my footing and ended up rolling down the hill on the other side of Ron. I sat up and saw that Ron had been trapped with a chain. "Ron!" I yell trying to climb back up to him but the fallen tree limbs, the loose leaves and the pain in my foot made it extremely difficult. "Hermione! Run! Don't stop, keep running!" Ron shouted grabbing at the chains wrapped around his legs.
I started to go back to help him but Finer Greyback came over the top of the hill shouting and yelling. I gave Ron an apologetic look and took off back down the hill towards Harry at the bottom of the hill. I stopped just short of running into Harry and pulled my wand out. Concentrating on the right spell, I pointed my wand at Harry and a bolt of blue light shot out and smacked him right in the face, causing it to swell and change shape. "Blimey Hermione! what was that for?" he said running his hands over his face. "i dont want to take any chances." i said breathing heavily, " if they do catch us they might not be able to recognize you." I hear heavy footsteps behind and i turn my head to see 5 Snatchers running towards us.
"Harry run!" i yelled grabbing his shirt sleeve and pulling him along. A flash of light and tree branch later i was knocked out on the ground. i couldn't feel my foot anymore. My heart was beating out of my chest. I mustered enough energy to turn my head to the side to get my face out of the mix of blood and dirt on the ground beneath me. Out of the corner of my eye, i saw a dark figure moving towards me and I was yanked to my feet. Well as much on my feet that I could handle. most of my body was supported by a man i wouldn't usually say hello to let alone support my body. A loud male scream came from just to the left of me. Ron, I thought. i struggled to be released from the mans arms but all i recieved was my wrist twisted behind my back at an awkward angle. "Aaahh!" I screamed in pain. "Let me go!" I yelled. Just then Scabior came around a large tree with a blade pressed to Ron's throat. "Move and you'll get to see all of your little friends blood splattered across this forest."
